A GOSNELLS woman was today fined $11,000 for starving three of her horses and banned from owning the animals for three years.

Sharon Richardson was visited three times by RSCPA officers and ordered to take proper care of her horses.

A RSPCA spokesman said in September 2012, Richardson was directed to provide proper and sufficient food for the horses after inspectors visited the property following a complaint. At the stage, three horses — mares named "Mia" and "Sadie" and another horse "Catch a Dream"— were found to be very skinny and in poor condition.

The next month inspectors and a vet conducted a follow-up visit and were told by Richardson the horses were getting chaff and hay twice daily. One horse was emaciated and was seized, with Richardson issued with two further direction notices.

In December, inspectors and a vet checked on the two remaining horses and noticed their condition had deteriorated even further and that there was no hay or feed anywhere in the paddock. The two remaining horses were seized under the Animal Welfare Act.

RSPCA chief inspector Amanda Swift said they were "very happy with today's result."

"If an RSPCA inspector issues a direction notice to take care of an animal, that must be adhered to and failure to comply can end up in prosecution as happened today," she said.

Richardson was also ordered by the courts to pay more than $4300 in costs to the RSPCA, including veterinary treatment costs.
